In the meantime, however, he has praise for Senator Chris Romer's bill about clarifying the doctor-patient relationship when it comes to medical marijuana. But while he agrees with Romer that the current bill represents a positive development, Garnett isn't sure the state can pass additional measures without violating the constitution.

"I think the first bill of Romer's is a big step in the right direction to tighten up control and management of the doctor-patient relationship in the medical marijuana situation," Garnett says. "I'm glad it seems to be moving along with a lot of support both in the legislature and, I think, in the governor's office."

However, he adds, "I don't know that much other legislation makes sense or can be constitutional."
